The Korean morning stood out Andreas Stjernen, Stefan Kraft and Andreas Wellinger, winners of the first, second and third on the system training HS 109, one of the largest small trampolines in the world along with those of Seefeld and Erzurum among others.
Athletes mentioned have gone up to 106 meters, with the Austrian and the Teutonic still half a meter longer. This was a great opportunity to try the normal hill, since there is no competition to be held before the appointment to 5 circles. It must be said that only half of registered athletes took part in training in question, for example, the Poles have jumped into the trunk.
Just one of them has won the qualification: Jan Ziobro landed at 134.5 meters, new trampoline records, despite the training on the large hill were touched much larger sizes, but are not valid for the primacy as unofficial jumps. The athlete of Zakopane has thus imposed by a margin of 5.7 lengths on Anze Lanisek.
Slovenian, for its part, has recorded a provision of 131.5 meters and preceded in turn, to a point, another Polish: Dawid Kubacki. The latter appeared in recovery after several weeks in which he had a slight decline in condition, then raises their chance to participate in some World Championship race, but the problem remains that that today the winner is now consistently high.
There were no sensational events in the competition today, as all athletes a minimum quoted exceeded the cut. The only high-sounding name, it will not take off tomorrow, it is to Vojtech Stursa, but the poor condition in which it is located makes it a little surprising.
Among the pre-qualified they are put in good light Peter Prevc and Maciej Kot, both landed at 134 meters, not far are however Kamil Stoch and manuel fettner went comfortably above 130 meters.
No Italian is at the start of the Korean pre-Olympic stage, in fact, are all left in the old continent to get ready for the upcoming World Championships in Lahti.
Tomorrow it will start at 12.00 with the first round of the first race scheduled in the county of Pyeongchang County. A second trial is scheduled for Thursday.
